Pluto LNG Project - Overview
Woodside Petroleum Ltd (Woodside), has approved development of the Pluto Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Project, subject to receipt to final environmental and other regulatory approvals.
The project is based on Woodside’s Pluto and Xena gas fields located about 190km north-west of Karratha in permit WA-350-P. First LNG production is planned by the end of 2010.
The major components of the Pluto development comprise five big bore subsea wells in 300 – 1,000m water depth drilled from a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) and tied back via flow-lines to a riser platform in about 85m water depth, a 36” trunkline to bring gas to shore where it will be dehydrated, treated and then undergo liquefaction through a single LNG train with forecast production of 4.3 mtpa, supporting onshore infrastructure including new storage tanks and a purpose built jetty

Facility Description – Onshore
Gas received from the offshore facilities via the pipeline will be treated and cooled to liquid form before being stored and exported by tanker as liquefied natural gas (LNG) via dedicated loading facilities.
The onshore scope includes a reception terminal including a pig receiver, slug-catcher and MEG (Mono Ethyl Glycol) regeneration facility.
FWW will use Shell Global Solutions technology to design the main LNG process train. The LNG process train will be modelled around a similar unit currently being constructed at the North West Shelf venture and will have a capacity of between 5 and 6 mtpa.
FWW will also design the utilities for the LNG plant, including power generating capacity in the range of 90 to 120MW.
Condensate will be stabilised and stored onsite. Light ends will be dehydrated prior to mercury and CO2 removal.
The LNG will be transferred to two large insulated storage tanks located on a site adjacent to the main process facilities, and from these storage tanks along a loading jetty onto LNG tankers.
Civil works scope consists of site preparation for storage and the plant and dredging of the shipping channel.
Facility Description – Offshore
The Pluto field is situated in water depths ranging between 300m and 1000m and will be developed through subsea production wells.
Production will be routed from the wells and manifolds through insulated corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) flow-lines, two per manifold, up the slope to the platform.
A Free Water Knockout (FWKO) platform will be located in 85m water depth on the continental shelf adjacent to the field.
Wet gas and condensate will be exported to the onshore plant through a 36” carbon steel trunkline. The trunkline will be routed through Mermaid Sound to a shore crossing at Holden Point (approximately 180km from the platform).
The subsea pipeline will be stabilised by concrete coating and will be trenched or rock dumped for some of its route. The shore crossing will be trenched and backfilled to a level below the minimum tide (LAT) and will be buried for the onshore section. It will be protected against external corrosion by anodes subsea and impressed current onshore.
